Tamirlan Kozubaev breaks a bone — 105 days out

Both of them Matheus Alves's — 8.21
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.21, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Ramón Bueno shuts the door
Defensive actions: 15, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Nobody could get near Rayco
Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

No hiding place for Badrian Ilham
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Badrian Ilham, and the manager let it.
